全20CrMnTi表面激光重熔的组织与性能研究

本文对激光重熔20CrMnTi材料表明改性层显微组织分布特征、表面硬度分布规律以及残余应力状态作了研究,结果表明,表面改性层由熔融层、相变硬化层及过渡层组成,且材料表面显微硬度得到大幅度提高,表面硬度达到HV841,约提高4倍。硬化层深度约1mm。残余应力测试得出最大残余应力出现在熔凝带中心,表现为压应力。随着离中心距离的增大,残余应力逐步降低,到熔化带边缘,表现为低幅值压应力;而熔池的外边缘应力在热影响区则转变为拉应力状态。     

Ti-23Al-14Nb-3V合金氩弧焊接头的显微组织及其力学性能

研究了预热对Ｔｉ－２３Ａｌ－１４Ｎｂ－３Ｖ合金焊接性，特别是对消除氩弧焊冷裂纹的作用以及对接头显微组织和力学性能的影响。结果表明，焊前预热可有效降低该合金的冷裂倾向。经预热处理后，焊缝区的结晶层状线消失，热影响区的硬度峰得到缓和，整个焊缝的显微硬度分布趋于均匀，但焊缝区的枝晶发生粗化，热影响区有所扩大。焊件接头的拉伸试验表明，预热可使焊缝区的接头强度系数增加，但无论预热与否，接头强度均低于母材强度，且不显示宏观塑性。

成形工艺对快速凝固Al—Cu—Mg合金组织和性能的影响

采用自制离心雾化装置制取了快速凝固LY12硬铝合金粉末,研究了以该粉末制成的真空热压件和挤压丝材的组织和性能。结果表明,所得粉末为泪滴状,其显微组织为树枝状晶和胞状晶。真空热压件密度高时所对应的强度高。450℃、10min、150MPa为较合理的工艺,此时粉末颗粒间结合密实,晶粒尺寸没有明显改变。在500℃热挤压时,挤压丝的组织已发生了再结晶,晶粒尺寸仍较细小。挤压丝材的抗拉强度达460MPa,其断口为韧窝状,韧窝尺寸小于3μm,且分布均匀。     

高密度聚乙烯6300M和2480的耐环境应力开裂性能研究

研究了成型塑料管材的两种牌号的高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)6300M和2480的耐环境应力开裂(ESCR)性能。研究中采用的测试方法为一般弯曲试片法、在管上取样的弯曲试片法和恒定压应变法-压缩环法。根据两种材料测试结果及与其他牌号HDPE测试数据比较,对他们的ESCR进行评价,并讨论和解释了HDPE结构参数,ESCR与韧性形变和脆性断裂之间的联系。     

The Problem of Estimating the Uncertainty of the Fixed Point Temperature Due to the Presence of Impurities

The main problems in estimating the uncertainty due to the presence of impurities in the material: the absence in the documents of a unique definition of the quantity being measured – the fixed point temperature, the lack of agreed methods of realizing the fixed points and the insufficient justification of the equations used for the estimate, are analyzed. The results of a measurement of the melting point of gallium are presented, which differ in the conditions in which they were realized – with one and two liquid-solid interfaces and different solidification conditions, are presented. The reasons for the considerable difference between the values of the temperatures obtained in these experiments are discussed.     

Crack Development in Individually Quick Frozen Cut and Peel Carrots

ABSTRACT:  Crack development during freezing (CDF) is one of the major challenges in individually quick frozen (IQF) cut and peel carrot processing. The effects of processing and freezer storage on crack development were examined on the cut and peel carrot variety, Sugarsnax. Carrot samples were removed from the major processing steps, the trans-slicer, the shaper, the blancher, and the dryer, and examined for crack development by measuring percentage cracked, crack morphology, total soluble solids, moisture levels, and membrane injury index immediately after processing. These parameters were also examined following 20 wk of standard freezer storage for cut and peels. Approximately 2% of nonprocessed carrots were cracked compared to 45% of carrots after the initial trans-slicing stage. As the processing continued, cracking decreased due to the removal of the outer epidermis to 16% of the finished product. This suggests that CDF was initiated at the 1st processing stage. Crack width and depth were 2.3 and 2.6 mm, respectively, at the trans-slicer stage and decreased to 1.1 and 1.8 mm at the end of the line. It was found that CDF was further exacerbated by freezer storage due to inefficient water removal at the dryer stage. Crack width and depth increased to 1.5 and 3.0 mm after 20 wk for freezer storage. Root size also played a role in CDF, suggesting that larger pieces are more susceptible to crack development. Total soluble solid concentrations did not play a role in crack formation during cut and peel processing.     

Failure analysis of three reconditioned rail car couplers

Three reconditioned rail car couplers, arbitrarily identified as couplers, failed during service due to cracking of the front face. The three couplers were reportedly upgraded by quenching and tempering to enhance strength and toughness. The objective of this investigation was to determine the mode of crack propagation and the root cause of the observed failures. Verl E. (Bud) Kahle, P.E., was a professional failure analyst for more than forty years. After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in physical metallurgy from Washington State University 1957, Bud was employed by the General Electric Company at a facility in Hanford, Washington. He later was employed by the Aerojet General Corporation and eventually was head of the Southern Pacific Materials Science Laboratory in Sacramento. After retirement from Southern Pacific he owned and operated his own firm, Kahle Metallurgical Consulting Services, for fifteen years. He came to be known as “the man with the answers” to clients in a variety of industries. Bud was a Life Member of ASM International. Many of Bud’s clients remarked on the high quality of his failure analysis case histories and encouraged him to have them published. After Bud passed away in 1999, his wife, Suzanne, approached ASM International to see if the society would be interested in publishing any of his work. Mrs. Kahle was able to supply a large number of reports, which Bud had carefully archived over the years. Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention Associate Editor Michael Stevenson read through the collected case histories, selected the ones to be included in this issue, and edited them for journal publication. ASM International wishes to thank Mrs. Kahle for providing these case histories for publication.
